martinez-murray

Fight fans from around the globe offer their feedback on this past Saturday’s huge offering of major matchups, including RING champs Sergio Martinez’s and Danny Garcia’s tougher-than-expected title defenses, in this week’s Monday mailbag.

Sergio Martinez narrowly outpointed Martin Murray to retain his RING and WBC middleweight titles in front of 50,000 fans in his native Argentina on Saturday, but the 38-year-old veteran suffered a knockdown and showed signs of aging.

Sergio Martinez, who used to emulate the styles of great right-handed fighters by watching a mirror image of their fights on a TV screen, has made a habit out of turning things around in his favor. Martinez defends his RING and WBC titles against Martin Murray in his native Argentina on Saturday.

Unbeaten British middleweight contender Martin Murray, who held Felix Sturm to a controversial draw in a 2011 title bout, says he now has the experience to topple Sergio Martinez this Saturday in THE RING champ’s home country of Argentina.

Ricky Hatton believes Martin Murray will match anything achieved by a British boxer — past or present — should he upset Sergio Martinez in a week from this Saturday in the WBC middleweight titleholder’s backyard of Buenos Aries, Argentina.

Ryan Songalia spoke to Peter Quillin about being named Fighter of the Year by the Ring 8 organization. The WBO middleweight titleholder spoke about the honor, his April 27 fight against Fernando Guerrero and some upcoming fights.
